I have this Twitter stats script running from my website and it works fine for my autodj tune titles being posted to my twitter account, only problem is when theres a live show it doesn't post to twitter.

Just be careful if your attaching this to the facebook twitter app. I have gotten emails from facebook. Telling me to stop.

I first started out using the cron to hit the PHP file every 10min. Then got greedy and told it to hit it every 5min. After receiving the emails, I made it every 15 minutes. that didnt help either. Still got the same email. Next day I switched it to every 1/2 hour. Same thing.. I disabled the cron, havent got an email since.

I do know other stations are using this on facebook using the twitter app. They are also not disabled from whatever term they or should I say we may be violating.

i stopped using the facebook twitter app because it was a bit too spamy.. my station broadcasts mix sets only.. so it only updates once an hour or longer.. this script was really intended for such stations.. as stations broadcasting single tunes would require an update more frequently... which is most likely why your getting these emails from facebook.

This is my final script, just change your twitter login and station details, and you are good to go.
Twittercast.php has to be open all the time though and both need to be in the same directory on your server..

Hello everyone,
I've tried several scripts but none works 100% for me. the point is that I have a problem with characters like áéçâêã, see the error in my twitter http://twitter.com/mixtotalfm (the first message has been posted by twitterscript and the last message by me)

When the message with the song title with special character is posted, then the twitter "cuts" the two letters from the front. Someone did the test using these characters? áéíóúã

I think it's something related to the type of character in the twitter API. Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

My script still isn't working but below is the error I'm getting when running it. I can confirm the output is less than 140 charaters and twitter hasn't blocked my IP address of host. Anybody can help? I'm able to post to twitter with other scripts that are running on my website

Hey Biggus i am with you on this issue,i noticed that my script stopped updating my twitter account just about the same date you posted this message.
Can we get some help with this please?
Our script has stopped working.

Note: I used stristr() so that the keyword "Live" was not case sensitive.

Also check out the quick little readme.txt I made. Oh and I don't think this will work with that new Shoutcast 2, it pulls the song info from 7.html.

Cheers!

Thanks for the updated folder Odogg, but i cant seem to get mine to work on my twitter page.I have the ip and port edited, also have my twitter and password edited. But nothing shows up on twitter.
Please help me if u can.

Make sure the CURL mod is enabled for PHP. Also your server should allow fsock connections to the shoutcast servers/ports they're running on.

Am sorry but pls how do i do that, am guessing i have to modify my PHP.INi file for the first one but how do i check the server to allow fsock connections to the shoutcast servers/ports they are running on.I am currently hosting my shoutcasts locally.

You probably don't need to worry about fsock connections if you're hosting your own server. Just enable CURL and try it, I think it's a line of code in your PHP.ini like you say. Enabling CURL may vary depending on your platform.
